#QUINCY TV SHOW EPISODES SERIES#
A decade before the series opens, his wife died of cancer, in so much pain that he considered euthanising her. Now, sure, Dick Van Dyke’s cheery doctor character might seem like the picture of carefree breeziness, but dig a little further back and you will find nothing but non-stop misery. Just one man, in the immediate aftermath of the worst trauma of his life, battling against a terrifying tidal wave of mental illness that overwhelms him to the point of suffocation on a permanent basis. Don’t forget, Monk was forced into retirement when the murder of his wife exacerbated his conditions. But that is not to say you can’t make a prequel. It would be seen as flippant and tone deaf by today’s standards. There is no way you could make a detective series where the protagonist’s depression and obsessive compulsive disorder was played largely for laughs – “The defective detective” ran the tagline – now. Let’s have him vomit three times an episode, and include plenty of scenes where he wordlessly rages at an uncaring God in a rainstorm. Let’s have a whole series where Bergerac is a raging drunk, forcing everyone out of his life with his horrible, out-of-control behaviour. Now, that’s a 2020 prequel if ever I heard one. He had succumbed to alcoholism after a harrowing divorce, and badly injured his leg chasing a suspect while drunk. Don’t forget, he only ended up moving to Jersey after a catastrophically tragic period of his life. Bergeracįorget the cuddly version of the Channel Islands detective series you remember, because Bergerac’s real origin was much bleaker. Maybe she could be stranded at home alone during her treatment. And don’t forget that Quincy’s wife died of cancer before the first episode, too. Some of his crew are bumped off by an unseen murderer, forcing Quincy into the world of forensic pathology for the first time.
Surely this deserves a series of its own. Over the course of the series, it is revealed that he – a forensic pathologist who lives on a boat and has the ability to solve murders on his own without any assistance from the police department – was once as a captain in the US navy. When Quincy began in 1976, he was played by a then 54-year-old Jack Klugman. I have five suggestions of where to go next. Well worth seeing and it's nice to see that although into its fourth season, the show could still be original and thought-provoking.With early reviews raving about the new Perry Mason, it is only a matter of time before more detective shows are given prestigious cable prequels. Because of this, it's a nice change of pace.albeit a bit creepy. Unlike the typical episode of "Quincy", this one is not about murder and Quincy seems much more rational in his crusade. Naturally, this enrages the always hot-headed Doctor and he starts to dig deep-to discover just how many infected bodies they have as well as why the investigation is being pushed aside. Oddly, however, despite the serious public health issue, a high mucky-muck from the cemetery board tries his best to wrap up the investigation ASAP-even if there are more deadly bodies floating about the neighborhood.
While this is really bad, it gets worse-it seems someone illegally buried some typhoid victims in the cemetery recently-and these corpses are highly infectious.
Unfortunately, the landslide occurs at an old cemetery-and bodies come rolling all over a nearby community (Yuck!!!). This episode of "Quincy" begins with a huge rain storm-so huge that there are landslides.
